Two-time defending state champion Wasatch and Salem Hills are in a virtual dead heat after Thursday’s opening round of the 5A state tournament.
Salem Hills is the Day 1 leader after tallying 93 team points, with Wasatch just one point behind at 92 points. Box Elder sits in third with 84 points.
Salem Hills finished fourth at state last year, but it’s in a good spot to challenge for this year’s title after advancing eight wrestlers to Friday’s semifinals.
Wasatch advanced nine wrestlers into the semifinals, including two wrestlers each at 115 and 120 pounds.
Hillcrest senior Eva Zimmerman improved to 33-0 in advancing to the semifinals in the 115 pound bracket. She’s two wins away from finishing as a four-time individual state champ.
Wasatch’s Marabelle Brown is chasing a 3-peat at 130 pounds. She won both of her matches on Thursday with pins in less than a minute.
Seven other wrestlers are looking to repeat as state champs: Hillcrest’s Katie Zimmerman, Hillcrest’s Caroline Pastrana, Salem Hills’ Rachel Jensen, Salem Hill’s Ruby Lindstrom, Salem Hills’ Avery Winterton, Hillcrest’s Eleni Nonu and West Field’s Brooke Deeter.
Jensen and Deeter — who won her title in 4A last year — are both competing in the 140-pound bracket and could meet in Friday night’s championship if they win their respective semifinals.
